Itinerary
Day 1: Day 1: Ho Chi Minh City - Cai Be - Vinh Long 30- 60km
Stop At: Cai Be Floating Market, Cai Be, Tien Giang Province, Mekong Delta
7:30 Meeting point at Mr Biker Saigon followed by a quick transfer to Cai Lay, approximately 90minutes (75km). On the way, you will get the opportunity to travel through locally grown vegetable and exotic fruit farms such as star apple and sapodilla plantations.
As you head further south along concrete canal paths, the vegetation grows denser and the streams start to look more like the larger branches of the Mekong River. Aiming to provide you with the most authentic experience possible of the region, you will visit a busy typical-Vietnamese marketplace as well as many other surprise stops on the way!
Lunch will be served by a lovely family in a village, with foods obtained from the nearby marketplace. After lunch you will board on a motor-boat to An Binh Island where we will spend our night at a homestay. Our host family lives in a typical Mekong delta Vietnamese house, with airy rooms and an outdoor kitchen. The rest of the afternoon you will be free to walk around before sharing the dinner preparations with your host family.
